    Passive-aggressive can be verbal, just not directly about what they are thinking. It is "It sure would be nice if I didn't have to come in until the afternoon"

    "The elderly, the sick, and the disabled."

    many have a hard time working, if that is what you're asking

    but there is also many people of all ages that could work but don't, course that has been true forever

    yep, skilled workers tat can be outsourced overseas are, I see this very much happening in many corporations and we see the effect it's having on society

    even customer service jobs that employed thousands are now going overseas, and it sucks for the employees that lost their jobs and the customers

    Jacobs, Bechtel, Flour, Honeywell, Emerson, Yokogawa and Worley all outsource engineering desktop work to India.
    The engineering companies from this group no longer employ any folks in the US to do Autocad drawings or SPI instrument work.
    The automation sector of these other companies no longer employ any folks in the US to do configuration, programming and graphics work.
    There are very few exceptions for some folks "lucky" enough to be tasked with reviewing and cleaning up India's work.
    This process has gone through some growing pains to be sure.
    It was a general rule-of-thumb that all of India's work had to be redone here in the US.
    This is no longer the case for work that India has now gained competency in.

    All of these jobs in the Houston area working oil and gas projects easily paid between 80 and 140 thousand dollars a year.
    These jobs are gone and will never come back unless the government passes legislation to penalize these wage differences.
    All of these jobs are gone for all the solar and wind green energy projects too.

    Guess what another desktop job is that's ripe for the picking - radiology.
    Entry level MDs in radiology start above $300k/year.
    Do you think UHC isn't lobbying to make it possible to offshore your next CAT scan analysis?

    Here's a reference to India's Engineering Salaries, I'm not sure of the accuracy but I think it is somewhat in line with what I've heard that Jacobs was paying.
    Jacobs loved it, they never dropped their bill rate to our clients below the equivalent salary of $80k/y ~$40/h.

    ₹350,000.00 $4,666.67
    ₹574,398.00 $7,658.64
    ₹1,640,286.00 $21,870.48
    ₹3,000,000.00 $40,000.00

    No. I can tell you exactly what it means, because over the past 10 years, several board certified psychologists and a psychiatrist have it explained it to me.

    Passive-Aggression behavior is aggression but it is not aimed directly at you. That is the passive part, because it is aimed at you indirectly.

    One of the guys in my PTSD group wanted to go to his high school reunion. I his wife didn't wanna, and they didn't argue about it. She said only that she wanted to do something else.

    He shows up at the airport only to find his flight reservations cancelled. She cancelled his hotel reservations as well.

    You can imagine how angry and frustrated he was, but you see, that was the whole freaking point of the exercise.

    Saying mean things to you might be childish and bullying, but that is not passive-aggression, because it is never directed at you. Instead, it is directed at things you care about or which interest you.

    They reorganize their lives to get by on the government support they can get and many of them supplement that on the side. Some even doing legitimate work.
